Tag Archives: pencil skirt

I’ve developed a jersey obsession. Especially jersey knit skirts. They can be dressed up or down, and work for both the office or the weekend. First, I wore my striped knit skirt for work. Since it’s on the shorter side, I paired it with a blazer and flats.

I was ridiculously sad about these shoes. I wore them for one day/night, and the soles started falling apart! Super surprising for Cole Haans! Luckily, they were purchased at Nordstrom, so I was able to return them.

Seattle summer has finally started, and we’ve been having some incredible weather. To kick off the sunshine post independence day, I paired a pink pencil skirt with a mint green top for work on Thursday.

I brought out my denim pencil skirt for work on Tuesday. Denim skirts are great for casual offices, because you can combine the casual (denim!) with put-together office attire (pencil skirt and heels!). If you’re on the shorter side (like me!), the key for pencil skirts is to make sure that they fit just above the knee (will help elongate your legs), and are fitted but you’re still able to move and breathe.

The skirt is a few years old from Banana Republic, and I paired it with a black skinny belt, James Perse top, and nude heels.

I went with some girlfriends to see a musical last night (First Date – loved the show for sure!), so I needed an outfit that would work for both work and a night out with my girls. A pencil skirt, top, and statement bib necklace was the perfect combo. Pair it with the belt and blazer for work, then take off the belt and blazer and add a leather jacket for night.
